NFL Free Agency 2016

Looks like Cleveland is the only chance where he'll be able to compete for a starting job, even if they take a qb in the draft. I'm sure he would've gotten other offers elsewhere to be a backup, but I'm not sure his ego would've allowed that.

Yeah without looking I think the last time they made the playoffs was when they had Holcomb at qb.. believe they played pitt
cheese and crackers! they have been to the playoffs twice since 1990. waht a depressing franchise.

Good for RGIII, I hope he succeeds

Robert Griffin III signs with Browns - NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000647310/article/browns-expected-to-sign-rg3)

Just heard on Grant and Danny that Robert is expected to sign with Cleveland today.

Bad move on his part IMO, he should have gone somewhere like KC where he could have sat under a good QB with a great QB coach and then been a star again after taking over. Now we will be in the top 1 or 2 of the draft bust lists forever.

Of course that assumes that KC wanted him. I never heard anything of the sort.

That's the most damning thing here. He has been a free agent for two+ weeks, the only visits he took were the Jets and the Browns.

The Rams have Foles as their best option and they didn't bring Robert in. Elway currently has Sanchez as his best option, and he didn't bring Robert in. The Jets currently have Geno Smith, and aren't willing to go higher than $8M to Fitzpatrick. They kicked the tires on Griffin but didn't bend over backwards to sign him. Houston really needed a QB, and rather than give RG3 a look they figured they'd throw $18M per season at Osweiler who has only played what, 8 games in the NFL?

Teams that really needed a QB aren't interested in him. And Shefter is reporting that Cleveland is still likely to draft a QB with #2 overall.

Most of us understand because we're a fairly knowledgeable board, but Robert really has fallen that far. 2012 is not coming back.

The Browns come to Fed Ex in 2016. I wonder if Griffin even plays. You'd have to say chances are it will be Goff, Wentz, or McCown.

I was very surprised how little attention RG3 got during the free agent period. Thought for sure the Rams, KC, maybe the Bills, Dallas, Texans or San Fran would show more interest.

Really surprised nobody didn't make more of an effort.

@RapSheet

The #Browns signed RGIII to a 2-year deal worth $15M, source said. He gets 6.75M guaranteed. Large investment.



Not sure I would have given him that kind of money. Wish him the best and I think it's the best scenario he could go to. (minus the fact it's the Browns)

Same here.

If I were his agent I would have pointed to Brock's contract then pointed to 2012 and say, "Let's be real here."

Honestly, I think he's done, but with the contracts given out this year, I'm not shocked.

I agree with everything you just posted! I would say there's less than a 50/50 chance Griffin is playing when the Browns face the 'skins.
